Notwithstanding the foregoing, the lien of the assessments provided for herein shall be subject and subordinate to the lien of any duly executed first mortgage on a Lot recorded prior to the date of which such lien of the Association arises. Any holder of such first mortgage which comes into possession of a Lot pursuant to the remedies provided for in the mortgage, foreclosure of the mortgage, or deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, and any purchaser at a foreclosure sale, shall take the Lot free of any claims for unpaid installments of assessment or charges against the mortgaged Lot which became due and payable prior to the time such holder or purchaser took title to that Lot.

(C) Authority to Assign or Enter into Contracts: The Association shall have the power and authority to contract with any person, corporation, firm or other entity for the exercise of any one or more of the various powers and authority granted to and duties to be performed by the Association hereunder.

Further, any of the rights, powers, duties and obligations of the Association may be assigned or transferred by the Association to any one or more corporations, associations, or entitles which agree to assume said rights, powers, duties, and obligations and carry out and perform the same.
